THEORY & ANALYSIS OF PLATES
(Structural Engineering)

Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 60

Answer any FIVE questions
All questions carry equal marks
*****

1 (a) What are the assumptions made in thin plates with small deflections?
(b) Derive the equations of equilibrium for small deflections of laterally loaded plates.

D
In case of pure bending of thin rectangular plates, obtain the Bending Moment and
Curvature relationships. Hence, obtain expressions for maximum bending and shear
stresses.

L
3

O R
Find Levys solution for simply supported and uniformly loaded rectangular plates.

Obtain the expression for deflection in case of simply supported solid circular plate
subjected to a uniformly distributed load of intensity q.

5
W
Obtain the expression for deflection in case of uniformly loaded circular plates with
clamped edges.

U
6

T
What are orthotropic plates? Derive the governing differential equation for the orthotropic
plates.

N

J
Find out the maximum deflection for all round square plate fixed of size a x a subjected to
uniform load of intensity q using finite difference method.

Derive the governing differential equation for the bending of rectangular plates subjected
to simultaneous action of lateral loads and in-plane forces.
